SAINTS Trust chairman Nick Illingsworth has urged fans to show their support for their club and prove that Saints are worth investing in.

Illingsworth was speaking after shares in Saints were suspended by the Stock Exchange this morning, a move that is usually the precursor to administrators coming in to take over the running of the club.

Illingsworth said: "Now we know what the situation is the only way out of it is for the supporters to rally around the club.

"The club is bigger than any individual and the only way out is for Saints supporters to who they care and the simplest way to do that is for Saints supporters to turn up on Saturday.

"If you are an investor, would you want to invest in a club that appears to have no customers? The answer is no.

"Supporters want investment and want to show the world that the club is a viable on going concern and they can do that by showing their support and turning up to games.

"In the short term that will bring money into the club and in long-term that encourages investors that the supporters back their club through thick and thin."
